Halo is best on PC. We are all done a disservice by their shitty xbox pet project. Just let it die and start pumping your efforts into PC

YOU'D LOOK GREAT ON MY COCK.

old Sup Forums never liked you but don't forget that I was always rooting for you behind the shouting and raging, Halo.
They'll never truly know your good side, your best years.
I s'pose we can all know comfort in that they're vindicated now, Halo is currently most definitely a garbage generic clone. Of its former self.

Playing Jenga, Fat Kid, and trash compactor with friends from school was the best online experience I ever had.

I never got the hate old Sup Forums gave it, most of reasons like regenerating health were started by CoD 2, not Halo.

>those custom fat kid games where you had to mine through all the destructible objects on foundry
>fast zombie games on sandtrap when you and your mates have a convoy of warthogs

>like regenerating health
Even we few Halo fans here agreed that was pretty bad. One of the cool parts of the gameplay of H1 is that you had both sides; a regenerating 'buffer' field that didn't punish you for taking some chip damage, but also a health bar which would punish you for being too greedy.
It's not all bad though, in retrospect. There's some argument to be made for all-regen helping the flow of multiplayer in a free-for-all Slayer mode.

Man, Forge did look so cool. It's a shame I didn't have too many actual friends on the 360 to jam with.

Something nice: The graphics have aged very well, it doesn't need a remaster like people keep demanding, it's very colorful and vibrant while still being easy on the eyes.

Something bad: BR gunplay is gay. I know why they did it, and nerfing the BR does help weapon balance, but the way they went about it makes one of the most important weapons in the sandbox awkward to use. It's the only weapon in the entire franchise that acts like it does with the projectile mechanic. It seems like Bungie recognized something was up at the tail end of Halo 2 with precision weapons, but they never could pin down how to solve it. Both the BR spread/projectile mechanic and Reach's bloom are annoying solutions.

What was wrong with the BR exactly? It never felt much different from H2's for me, then again I was a kid.

The only thing a remaster could fix is the binocular level FOV

I might celebrate by re-watching a bit of Red Vs. Blue.
Halo 3 sort of marked the 'phase 2' of the series; doing crazy shit and alien babies and junk. Some would view this as a dip in the series. I liked it, though. I was sad to see the Blood Gulch adventures go, but it was a good time regardless.
And for those who forgot about the show and didn't watch beyond that story arc... you might want to catch it, 'phase 3' is rather interesting.

I didn't know it was actually the internet's longest-running series. Not surprised, though.

>It's a shame I didn't have too many actual friends on the 360 to jam with.
my nigga thats why you played a few BTB games and then checked recent players for anyone in custom games

nobody except for the biggest hipster contrarians think halo 3 is a dip in the series. It literally does everything the other games do but better.

oh and it has nothing to do with the H3 era, but mandatory original theme music

My big brother owned the 360, I didn't really have the freedom to assemble my own friends list.

I meant in terms of Red Vs. Blue's plot.

It was OK, but way overrated.
No Halo game will ever top Halo CE on PC.

>but way overrated
Agreed.
It was the best argument Sup Forums had for sure; I loved the fuck out of the series, but it wasn't the New World Order tier the common public made it out to be.

Probably overall the most fun I've had in an online game ever, I'm glad I was able to experience it at its peak.

Been rewatching all of Anoj's Top Ten stuff.
Halo 3 truly was something else that cannot be replicated today

Rate my spartan

You'll always be underage to me.

PC
FUCKING
WHEN
MICROSOOOOOOOOOFT

Halo 3 EOD looked like a stupid Baboon with mutton chops and a big colored nose.

Reach's was alright, but Halo 4's was honestly the best rendition of it.

i was a really edgy 14 year old

Weren't we all

youtube.com/watch?v=LTxO_pgMqys

Now
They leaked bits of ODST source code on Sup Forums and two years later we got a working multiplayer

Eldewrito wasn't just leaked bits of ODST's source code, it was a modification of the short lived Halo Online, a P2W Halo game that was released only in Russia, it used code from Both Halo 3 and 4 in a modified ODST engine.

Anal queen!

Whatever nigga, it's Halo 3 without dual wielding (until 6.0 or Anvil update) but with 60fps, 4K, kb+m and mods

With no players

I was playing a couple weeks ago with like 6 other friends, there was a few full servers.

You're making it sound like there's 0 servers and 0 players

>He isn't playing with /hg/ later today
Custom games at 6 PM

Hasn't been ruined by 343 yet and hopefully never will be

>videogame is officially supported, has matchmaking and servers
>has 1000 players: game is utterly dead, 40 minutes to find a match

>game is in the hands of some fan community that can host custom games
>has 200 players: feels like everybody on the planet is playing it, plenty of full servers 2good4you to join, instantly play whenever you want

I seriously can't get it.
Game had around 150-250 players this summer (in nighttime), played with four friends, it was full as fuck
didn't felt that different from 2007 except better resolution

I wore it just because I fucking loved Ninja Gaiden Black

>ywn go back to the old days of fucking around with your XBL buddies on Sandbox and Foundry custom gamemodes
I MISS IT SO MUCH REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

H3 ruined the franchise

I miss you

Halo 3 custom games was the most fun I have ever had on an online FPS, and halo is part of the FPS genre that I'm not big on

To all the custom games people, if you didn't realise that Pirate ships was objectively the best mode pls leave

HD REMASTER
youtube.com/watch?v=dGxY9d4B17c

what does the youtuber h3h3 have to do with this?

>tfw still haven't gotten Steppin Razor

>bought the game
>befriended a guy
>got invited to a game where you chased a car whilst pretending to be a zombie
>thought it was fun
>was never able to play it again
How the fuck did you do it? I would've been so happy.

These replies are funny in a thread where people also posted this

Jesus nigga custom games
Halo 3 MP was great anyway, I loved playing the game modes with a single team mate with a buddy, but custom games were where the community shined
There were shitloads of custom game types people made, I loved pirate ships which made the floor on the elephant map damage you, and it was basically CTF with raiding parties attacking each ship from mongoose

Frig off.

>No Halo game will ever top Halo CE on PC.
This.
You plebs know nothing.

And you know nothing about containment!

can you ce fans explain the love for ce? i feel like i would love it if the magnum was removed, but since everyone likes how overpowered it is, i dont think i'll ever play a game of ce where people play with any other weapon. 2 was way too fast for me, so 3 is still my favorite since it feels like a better balanced ce with better maps too.

>let's make a game with fantascientific settings but make it also a slow military FPS
yeah no Halo is and will always be cancer and it's the prime reason why today we get trash like Destiny instead of cool sci-fi shooters

Ce is not great. The magnum is too good. So good there is absolutely no reason to use another gun. If the magnum was nerfed id like it more.

Halo didn't try to be "scifi", Halo it's literally current warfare 500 years later
Marines are today's marines, weapons aren't that impossible, and you fight aliens instead of muslims

But it's not fucking hard science fiction

Remember that you must have all the vidmaster challenges completed to post in this thread.

Or you wore Security, that's fine too.

Best Halo.

Halo CE didn't have amazing weapon balance but the ME maps and overall atmosphere are a 10/10 and not even Halo 3 topped that.

Maps like pic related or Blood Gulch. Combining artificial structures with natural environments.

...

You must have LITERALLY every challenge and achievement completed to post in this thread.

Remember when pretending this was your first/favorite game was a common way of baiting on Sup Forums?

>it's literally current warfare 500 years later
yeah that was my point, shit's fucking stupid and boring, there's no reason to set your game into the future if it's going to be just another generic military FPS reskin with zero creativity

It's awesome still today, as it's on backwards compatible and plays great. Sucks it has a sub 2500 population

WOW look at all that gray stuff, not even Reach can top that!

Tell me why you deserve it, portbeggar.

God, watching seasons 6-10 of RVB was such a ride. I miss the Halo 3 days.

Hope you like it, man

Im busy trying to figurre out the logic of my life. It's not going to work.

They were probably trying to appeal normiecore userbases

And it worked, now Halo is more ridiculous and exaggerated than late Red vs Blue, but nobody cares about it anymore

Halo CE & Halo 2 were the pinnacle of console FPS arena Multiplayer

2001-2006 /comfy/ Summer vacations

I had a lot of fun with this game, I loved customs so much I had around 2500 finished games for it, played it way more than the matchmaking. I think generally the MP/matchmaking for Halo 2 was better though.

>was

Just like the age of the average halo player

The best in the series.

Halo? Heh. More like GAYLO am I right?

Forge and theater were neat ideas and interesting even though not implemented perfectly.
The game had some nice design.

Still the downfall of the series imo.
Co-op campaign on Legendary were the best times, when Gaylo 5 axed split-screen the series was dead to me.

How active is it today?

If anyone is interested I'm uploading 10 10-year old clips of Halo 3 to youtube today to celebrate the anniversary.

Sure man. It'll be a nice time capsule.

Here, there's about another 5 queued.

Hello i am Master Chief lolololololololololololololol

That Flood Transformation animation they do is pretty erotic.

Didn't Halo 3 become backward compatible with Xbone last week? Could have sworn I saw a thread or two about anons playing it again.

The 4ums on t3h intrn3t lied to meh the helmet does nt make u pleh bettr

Is it out on windwos yet ?
If not I'm going back to my PC dungeon to play my PC exclusives.

looks like shit but it's actually a fun map.

Hang Em High along with a few other maps like pic related make a nice contrast with the nature-based maps.

Yes along with most other Halo games on 360.

Halo combat evolved for PC was nice.
So should I finally play Halo 2 and 3 on PC now?

I diagree, Halo 3 copies make things from CE and adds into them.

Getting to choose between Spartans and Elites or armor permutations or the energy sword being a usable item etc. Halo 3 expands upon the CE formula so it's better.

Only Halo 2, Halo Wars, Halo 5 forge and Spartan strike/assault are on PC.

So much has changed in 10 years. Halo 3 marked the beginning and end of an era. Soon CoD4 would release and usher in more normies than ever to our beloved hobby. God the last ten years have been shit

t.Sup Forums

Best map?

>t.Sup Forums
No you aren't.

Had a shitty ranking system that punished solo players.
Reach had a better one that rewarded you based on how well you did.

We had so many good times. Campaign was excellent. Multiplayer was godly, especially custom games. Community engagement was fabulous, Bungie was in true form. Everything was perfect. Happy anniversary gaylo.

>Only Halo 2, Halo Wars, Halo 5 forge and Spartan strike/assault are on PC.
And this is why I will pirate the halo game and play on emulator MS can go fuck itself.

Death to all exclusives! No platform restrictions!

Halo 2 and 3 were the original normie-bait user.

Maybe you're also a normie

unforgettable

>Be Halo 3
>10 year old game
>6 sequels/prequels released after you
>People love you so much they still upload random gameplay videos 10 years later

Also the most fun console multiplayer FPS I ever played. This and Gears of War pretty much defined my later high school life to out of school life.
